If you aren't trying to make money on them, it doesn't matter if people read you or not. Personally, I've made and abandoned blogs on various topics and I'd say it was a good experience. Sometimes it feels good to ramble about stuff and get your thoughts out. As a kid I kept a journal, but I don't write longhand so much anymore. I type a lot faster than I write, so I blog.

2) Does anyone here care about any of my thoughts to the point of thinking it could make for coherent blog ramblings? (whether you agree with me on certain issues or not. I'm looking at you Chas on the gun rights and Muffs on...something else I can no longer remember we disagreed on)

3) Does anyone here regularly read any other blogs?
If yes A) Is it only because you agree with them?
B) Do they write well, or is it just about the content?

1.
A) I have one, no it's not.
B) Not a lot of people
C) Nope

2.
I'd probably have a look at your blog if you had one, and if I like what you write, I would probably bookmark it and look every once in a while.

3.
A) I read the Crumb Boss blog sometimes, because they have cool icings and cool cake and pastry ideas on there (and they are professionals)
B) Not the great writers, I just like the content

Now my own two cents:
If you want to write a blog, just do it. You write for yourself, not for others. You write what is on your mind and if others find that interesting, well that's great, but who cares! You are most likely not a professional blogger/vlogger so you do not have the preassure to write something on a regular basis. Therefore, do it for the fun or leave it.

I have just read your blog and I would like to comment on this statement about the animatronic T. rex in the creation museum.

Quote: When I say the dinosaur is stolen, I don't mean they literally stole it. They did spend a good deal of money having it built after all, but what I mean is that the reconstruction of it, the idea of how it moved and how it stood and it's coloring and basically every detail of its anatomy and physiology, is hijacked from the scientists who have spent their careers studying these organisms.

Imagine if you will that you are a master chef. You have spent your career perfecting a dish close to your heart. You set this dish loose upon the world for all to enjoy, and then someone else takes it, calls it their own, and begins to throw out the core ingredients that make it special.

The scientists who have studied the T. rex didn't invent it so they can't be considered owners of the information they have published about it in the same way that a chef is the owner of dish he creates. Knowledge cannot be owned by any individual or group so anyone who wishes can use it freely. The owners of the museum have simply studied the evidence and reached a different conclusion about what T. rex was like. This is the sort of thing that scientists do all of the time.

The information in ancient libraries came from real minds of real people. The far more complex information in cells came from the far more intelligent mind of God.
